i spoke with an att customer rep about this and she said she had seen it too, but they don’t have any details and they’re not sure what they’re going to do, but engadget or someother blog posted the clause where if they do decide to charge you more for being a “DATA HOG” then you can’t simply get out of your contract because there’s a clause in it.

Thank god there are still people with a brain. I’m getting sick of people saying that they will buy these phones regardless if they come ridiculous price tags. The only way SE will survive is if they get the end-users price down on their phones. Selling them at an $800 retail at the Sony Style stores will not do them any good. $299 is the max the majority of consumers would pay for this phone. They need to get carriers to subsidize to this price or less even if it means selling at a loss. If SE is serious about gaining some longterm market share in the US they are going to have to play the same game as every other phone manufacturer. The Xperia series will not demand a premium over the iPhone, except to a very small niche market, which is not enough to be profitable on. The X10 is a great/sexy piece of hardware, but given the state of the economy, frivolous opulence is not en vogue anymore.
